(The RZA. The founding member of the Wu-Tang Clan shares his wisdom and experience in The Tao of Wu. Thursday October 15, 2009 7:00 PM.Union Square. 33 East 17th Street, New York, NY 10003, 212-253-0810)
By Robert Spuhler. Special to amNewYork
Tao was good enough for Bruce Lee, in his book “Tao of Jeet Kune Do.” It was good enough for Winnie the Pooh and Piglet, in successive
tomes by Benjamin Hoff. It was even good enough for Willie Nelson. So why not the RZA?
Part autobiography and part spiritual exploration,
“The Tao of Wu” sounds like a novelty book based on its title. For those paying attention,
though, the New York City mainstay emcee
and main producer of the Wu-Tang Clan is about to educate, laying out his life’s key points and what he’s learned. http://store-locator.barnesandnoble.com/event/61084
